  Correct usage can be determined by referring to a dictionary. dictionary.com shows meanings for "off the map" and "put on the map", but nothing for "in the map".

  In spite of the previous comment, there are a lot of examples of 'in the map' on the internet. Google Ngrams seem to show that it is a far from rare usage, but that 'on the map' is more idiomatic.

In the map makes sense if you're talking about a map application on a smart phone. Since this will soon be the way that most people use maps in practice, it will likely become the dominant form.

For the moment, though, on the map is more general, and it also carries the connotation that the Venue is worth mapping, i.e. it will appear on a screen in the app, but also on other wayfinding displays that the user might encounter on their way to its location.

So I'd say that the correct answer depends on the nature of your audience, the importance of your venue, and the impression you are trying to convey.

  I second "in the map" as referring to inclusion within a map, whereas "on the map" is idiomatic to whether it's noteworthy and worth marking onto a map. If it's "on the map" it's important, but whether a place is important to be "in a map" is a different question...

A map is a 2-d representation of a 3-d space, in, would refer to "inside" whereas on represents "on-top of", and as there is no inside of a 2-d thing, the correct wording is "on the map"
